A2: It depends upon the hardware that the CF is running on. According to PR/SM Planning Guide (SB10-7036-04), any CF running on z890 or z990 [or newer] requires a connection to the same Sysplex Timer providing time for all members of the parallel sysplex. If the CF is an LPAR in a machine which is already connected to the sysplex timer, this is sufficient.
See topic "Sysplex Timer and the Coupling Facility" in the above manual for more details, including an explanation why IBM decided to implement timestamps in all CF messages.
